The Guyana Poultry Producers Association (GPPA) yesterday called on government to urgently address the smuggling of chicken over the country’s eastern and southern borders and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) said it was aware of the problem and is addressing it.
Their call comes even as local producers bemoan the current cost of feed here, while some producers in Region Nine lament that production against competition from Brazil was not sustainable.
“Poultry Producers are alarmed at the increased visibility of smuggled chicken on the local market. These mainly arrive via our eastern and southern borders,” the GPPA yesterday said in a statement.
